Why not bring your friends, family or colleagues together and take on Run Alton Towers 2026, all while raising funds to support projects that make a real difference across our communities?

Taking place on 14 and 15 November 2026, this unique event combines the excitement of a running challenge with a fantastic day out at one of the UK's most popular theme parks.

And thanks to a special charity rate, you can sign up for just £20 per person, reduced from the usual entry fee of £48. Better still, your registration includes access to the rides and attractions after your run, making it incredible value for a full day of fun.

A challenge for everyone

Whether you're a seasoned runner, a complete beginner or simply looking for a new experience with loved ones, there's something for everyone:

  • 5K ( 14 and 15 November)
  • 10K (14 November)
  • Half Marathon (15 November)
  • Junior Race (14 November)

The Junior Race is a brilliant way to introduce younger family members to fundraising, helping them experience the sense of achievement that comes from completing a challenge and supporting a good cause.

Spectators can buy a ticket for £30 - which also includes ride access with friends and family once the challenge is completed.

Whether you're planning a family day out, a catch-up with friends or a memorable weekend experience, Run Alton Towers offers the perfect mix of fun, fitness and fundraising.

 

Helping us to make a difference

Every pound raised for Mersey Cares helps fund projects that enhance the mental health and wellbeing of patients, service users and their families.

From pet therapy and sports activities to cookery sessions, dementia resources and other wellbeing initiatives, these projects provide opportunities and experiences that go beyond what NHS funding alone can support.
